Ahra, I mean that there is a special resource on one of your forest tiles that you have not found, and that you should build some hunter's camps there, and that if you do, you'll probably find it. Also, the resource is furs. Also, you should have done this sometime in the first age.

You know, Nirur Torir, you've got a third bonus construction labor sitting around. You might as well put it towards something or other.

What? How's it work, then? I thought it was Builder1, Builder2, Builder3, Bonus1, Builder4, Builder5, Builder6, Bonus2, which is where I'm at.

I'll build a farm on that last unfarmed plains tile with it.

Oh, I see, you've got your research listed under manufacturing. That's what threw me. Nevermind, then, sorry for the confusion.

I don't really know about this slavery thing. There were definitely no slaves in age 1. I guess if you really compressed the timeline they could have spent age 2 enslaved and broken free at age 3. Definitely no more than one civilization enslaving them.
Also, knowing where they came from is good, but I need to know more about their current society. Tell me more about Kain. Tell me why they accept any religion. Tell me about Harticus. Tell me about their mechanics. Tell me about their city - they drove the old rulers out and took the place for their own, right? I need more detail about these old slaveowners, too. What kind of city did they build, and what did they do there? This is very important, because most of your starting technology is going to be stuff they researched and you learned from them.
And, uh, don't tell me "they are a great race". (Especially since the entire race apparently got enslaved en masse pretty much the moment someone came up with the idea - not an auspicious sign.) Don't say "my guys are awesome"; it sounds like you're trying to god-mode. Tell me about their strengths and their weaknesses

Slander! My gnomes have never even heard of you. We should quite probably enslave you for your insolence.  :P

Edit: I'll format my next to better, as research really doesn't belong under manufacturing anyway.

It's pretty much copy & pasted from his Fiefdom race.

He's been scrutinized pretty badly for it since it seems to borrow from another player's race/story.

In the first three pages, at least, the discussion seems to end with admitting that it didn't really borrow from it after all, or at least that most of it didn't.

I do think copy+pasting a race from elsewhere isn't a good idea, however. You want to play something you want to play, obviously, but using the same exact race in two different games (and in this case, two wildly different settings) isn't really something you should do if you can avoid it.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

You'll have to find them first.

You know, that gives me a fun idea. Has anyone started forming hypotheses about what the world map might look like? If so, could you sketch it and PM it to me? I kinda want to see if anyone's started trying to piece it together, and, if so, how close they are.

Hum. I was kind of wondering about that, but I thought it too soon to start trying to piece the maps together.

Time to start.
